NEVER EVER search "imperial knife" on ebay

[gradall5200]

I try to stay away from the search but when Im bored I search "IMPERIAL KNIFE" On ebay. Usually 400-500 things show up. Problem is every time you search it no matter how many times you have allready searched it, there is tons of knives and stuff I have never seen before and I dont mean 1 or 2, I mean A lot!!!! and there is so much stuff to pick up between $1 and $20 bucks that I will blow my life savings on "good deals" ( in my opnion). but dont ask my wife if there good deals!!! I will be saving for a old timer or something waiting for it to come along then 3 or 4 imperials blow it for me. Great stuff for new collectors and youngsters and some really neat stuff still out there just cant believe how good of condition I can still find stuff sometimes. anyone else have this problem? If not try it, it will become one!!!-Joel

My problem is just the opposite lately, Joel.

I primarily search for Imperials, and only occasionally search for Schrades these days. The schrade prices seem too wacky right now to me, and like you said, the Imperials do offer alot of bargain shopping.

I like certain styles of Imperials, thankfully, so I can keep my drooling to a minimum and focus on the ones that I want.

Also, with all the "new" Schrades out there now, it is getting harder to tell what is new and what is new old stock.

Happy hunting!
